I am hoping someone can find an obit for me in the Enterprise to help me either prove or dispel an old legend in my wife's family.

It's always been the rumor that a family member was hanged in Benton County, but nobody has any proof. I thought that the newspaper might have some information about what happened. Information is:

Asa Burton
Died: March 22, 1918
Buried: Bethel Campground Cemetery

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
